Abstract

PurposeThis study focuses on leadership in organizations where big data analytics (BDA) is an essential component of corporate strategy. While leadership researchers have conducted promising studies in the field of digital transformation, the impact of BDA on leadership is still unexplored.Design/methodology/approachThis study is based on semi-structured interviews with 33 organizational leaders and subject-matter experts from various industries. Using a grounded theory approach, a framework is provided for the emergent field of BDA in leadership research.FindingsThe authors present a conceptual model comprising foundational competencies and higher order roles that are data analytical skills, data self-efficacy, problem spotter, influencer, knowledge facilitator, visionary and team leader.Research limitations/implicationsThis study focuses on BDA competency research emerging as an intersection between leadership research and information systems research. The authors encourage a longitudinal study to validate the findings.Practical implicationsThe authors provide a competency framework for organizational leaders. It serves as a guideline for leaders to best support the BDA initiatives of the organization. The competency framework can support recruiting, selection and leader promotion.Originality/valueThis study provides a novel BDA leadership competency framework with a unique combination of competencies and higher order roles.

数据驱动型领导者:开发大数据分析领导能力框架

本研究的重点是大数据分析(BDA)是企业战略重要组成部分的组织中的领导力。虽然领导力研究人员在数字化转型领域进行了有前景的研究，但BDA对领导力的影响仍未得到探索。设计/方法/方法本研究基于对33位组织领导者和来自不同行业的主题专家的半结构化访谈。运用扎根理论的方法，为BDA在领导力研究中的新兴领域提供了一个框架。作者提出了一个概念模型，包括基本能力和更高层次的角色，即数据分析技能、数据自我效能、问题发现者、影响者、知识促进者、远见者和团队领导者。研究局限/启示本研究聚焦于BDA胜任力研究，它是领导力研究与信息系统研究的交叉领域。作者鼓励进行纵向研究来验证这些发现。实践意义作者为组织领导者提供了一个胜任力框架。它作为领导者最好地支持组织的BDA计划的指导方针。胜任力框架可以支持招聘、选拔和领导晋升。原创性/价值本研究提供了一个新的BDA领导能力框架，该框架独特地结合了能力和高阶角色。
